Comparsion Of The Movie 'The Miracle Worker'

This paper is about when we read the play “The Miracle Worker” and then watched the movie the “The Miracle Worker”. The play was published in 1956. The play was written by William Gibson. Both of these the play and the movie are about Helen Keller and how she learned that objects have a name. The movie was published in 1962. It was directed by Arthur Penn. The movie was after the play because it was based off of the play.

The second one is that you could stop and talk about what we did not understand and what it meant. Some advantages of the movie was that you already knew what the characters were like and how acted, also that now you can see them in action. Some disadvantages are that the play and the movie had some differences, but it would have been good if it was exactly the same.

That is the reason why I like the movie better than the play. I think that the play and the movie were very just that the play took longer and you would have to remember what happened before and their
